While I was excited to learn more about the likes of Fable and Halo Campaign Evolved, Xboxâs 2026 showcase didnât leave me all that excited.
Offworld settlement builders delight in forcing their pebble-gathering, ore-hoarding colonists into a life of subsistence scrounging by way of disaster: a crashed spaceship or cryogenic malfunction leaving them no choice but to eke out an existence on a hostile rock. Star Trek: Outposts Unknown, announced yesterday and already bearing a demo, is different. Your team of explorers aren’t trapped; in fact, if they’re anything like mine, they’ll be knocking off and back on the mot
Following on from the Intel Core Ultra 200 lineup, Nova Lake-S is expected to have up to 52 cores and use a new LGA 1954 motherboard socket.
With improved visuals, enhanced AI, and a bunch of technical modernization, Company of Heroes Definitive Edition is a very welcome sight.
Alkimia Interactive and THQ's Gothic remake launched over the weekend, and many are the complaints that the RPG's revised lockpicking system is far too hard. I know, right - tricky lockpicking in a game set in a giant prison! Please excuse me while I lift both hands from the keyboard and strenuously knead my face into a shocked expression. Read more
Treat yourself to a new pair of cans this Amazon Prime Day.
I've never mastered the combat of Sekiro and Sifu. They're games that demand you recognise an incoming attack and match it with millisecond perfect parries and dodges. Success sees you turn a foe's assaults against them, ducking under their swinging blade and popping up behind them to deliver a precise punch to their kidney; failure sees you knocked to the ground or cut in two. So it's not great news for me that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy has dropped its stealth roots in favour of combat i
That's one way to gin up buzz.
Senua, announced during Summer Game Fest, is not Hellblade 3.
Of all the Resident Evil remakes to burst forth from Capcom like zombie-spawn in recent years, I am most intrigued by the just-unveiled Resident Evil Veronica. The original game, released in 2000 for sixth generation consoles, is an important entry in the series, but it's also a mess that probably stands the most to benefit from a shiny coat of RE Engine paint.

A mass of flailing fingers flop against my desk. I'm doing badly at playing cartoony roguelike shooter Maximum Thunderness with a controller. The fact I'm trying to play its demo on mouse and keyboard at the same time, in order to appreciate the co-op element of the game's battles with skateboarding aliens, probably isn't helping. In fact, it almost certainly isn't. Read more
Todayâs Runescape update completely overhauls player avatars, as Jagex continues to tear through its Road to Restoration roadmap.
From orbital bombardments to ramshackle Stompers, Total War Warhammer 40k is a strategy game that looks to blow the opposition away.
AMD's follow up to its Radeon RX 9000 series will be based on its faster RDNA 5 architecture but won't be be here until at least late 2027.
Maybe it's time for that replay?
From About Fishing to Red Kiss, the PC Gaming Show showcased some massive creative wins for PC gaming, and the futureâs looking bright.
Good news, everybody! We made it through the Summer Game Fest weekend pretty much unscathed. True, I have depleted neighbourhood stocks of ginseng and also, lost the ability to blink, but we got another Duskers out of it, didn't we? Also some footage of gunfights in a Fumito Ueda game, which distressed me less than it might have if I'd had any fluid left in my head when they screened the thing. In equally happy news, we've dealt with the problem of the Maw eating Geoff Keighley and/or spawning
Everyone's gotta eat.
The Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis system requirements are already out, well ahead of the delayed 2027 release of Lara's latest adventure.
We're excited to reveal Hearthstone Escape from Violet Hold's Tiny Pal card, which has so many different uses that it's scary at all times.
Despite Xbox living in its nostalgia era, its showcase failed to give Halo a promising future.
To be fair, I also rapidly lose interest in things once I've already been paid for them.
Last week, Amazon gaming general manager Jeff Gattis rather put the cat amongst the pigeons when talking about James Bond's future in games now IO Interactive's 007 First Light is out. He was cited by Polygon as having said that, since they'll be happening post-Amazon's acquisition of the full Bond rights, any follow-up would be "done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios". When asked about Gattis' comments, Amazon were quick to declare that it's "still too early to discuss future p
